Aljubarrota Medieval

Aljubarrota Medieval celebrates the memory of the Battle of Aljubarrota with a programme that crosses the town and several historical spaces over four days. The atmosphere recreates medieval daily life with parades, music, dances, popular characters, period craft workshops, falconry, juggling, street theatre and evening shows.

The opening is dedicated to D. João I, with the reading of the court ruling, the opening parade, workshops and a tournament in honour of the king, followed by shows such as "Tratado do amor em tempos de guerra" and "Glória e Honra", by the ADOREA group. The following day is marked by a tribute to Dom Nuno Álvares Pereira, with a floral ceremony, new workshops and the tournament in his honour.

On Saturday, the tribute focuses on the Baker Woman of Aljubarrota, with mass and procession, while the programme continues with the workshops, equestrian baptism, the puppet play "Dona Inês de Castro" and the end-of-day shows. On Sunday, the focus shifts to the battlefield, with an archery tournament, battle training, the reenactment of the Battle of Aljubarrota and a victory parade, culminating in a closing celebration.
